Located directly on St. Augustine Beach and only minutes to downtown, Holiday Isle Oceanfront Resort offers comfortable beachfront hotel accommodations, free Wi-Fi, a large outdoor swimming pool, poolside tiki bar (seasonal), and a friendly and courteous staff, all at an affordable price.

All rooms are non-smoking, and come equipped with cable television, coffeemaker, iron and ironing board, hair dryer and complimentary onsite parking. Our hotel is pet friendly, but only in the ground floor rooms. A pet fee of $20 per pet per night applies, which is paid at the hotel directly when checking in. Many, but not all rooms have an ocean view. Please refer to the individual room description for details on the view.

Come explore the pristine, unspoiled white sand beaches that stretch 14 miles along Anastasia Island. Ideal for walking, jogging, beachcombing, swimming or simply relaxing while gazing out at the tranquil Atlantic Ocean. Beach chairs and umbrellas are available for rent, as well as surf boards, boogie boards and SUP paddle boards from Barnies Beach Rentals which is onsite.

Old Town Trolley Tours has partnered with our hotel to provide transportation via their Beach Bus to and from the historic district for guests with trolley tickets, which can be purchased at our front desk. Tours are available daily between 9am and 4:30pm. Its a great way to see the city!

Only stay if you have to bring your pet with you on vacation...

We planned a trip to St. Augustine for a friends wedding and roomed with a friend and their new puppy. We rented this hotel because it was pet friendly and oceanfront. The staff was very nice, however the rooms and building need a complete renovation. The floors are all tile and we had to wear shoes or socks because of how dirty it felt. The hotel has a pet friendly floor and every single room had a dog. Our room had no ocean view and was far from town (45 minute commute with the bridge traffic).
When returning from the wedding, my friend stepped in fresh dog droppings because everyone takes there dogs outside and not many clean up after (not the hotels fault, the owners fault). The additional fee for taking our pet was a surprise as we thought it was included in purchasing a pet friendly room.
Next time we visit St. Augustine, we will pay a pet sitter and enjoy a hotel in town. The rooms weren't comfortable, had they been, it might have made up for the fact the hotel needs a major renovation.

Unexpected Disappointment

The front desk guy was very nice at check-in. Upon arrival I found hair in my bathtub, and floor was moist and sticky in bedroom, humid like. Air conditioning would not stay on. Hotel was a disappointment. I only stayed for one night and did not use the shower. Because of carpet I did not go barefoot. Hotel looks nothing like website pictures. Wifi works well. Manager at checkout was nice but when I asked about breakfast she said we don't offer anything. All in all staff is nice but Motel 6 would be an upgrade, and i'm not kidding.

Good hotel for price

The room was clean and simple, nothing special and a little outdated but still very livable. Great location and staff were nice.

great beach for pet owners

Location, location, location. The area was terrific. Wonderful passing through the area to have a pet friendly hotel on a pet friendly beach. I really appreciated the opportunity to enjoy the ocean.
The noise level was a problem, though. Doors face out to the hallway in a pet friendly section of the hotel. That part was great but we had 2 little dogs across from us that you could hear frequently which would set off my dog. He would stop..they did not. There were also children running screaming up and down the hall. Not the hotel's fault,certainly, but the thin doors made it pretty noisy in our room. There was a stained and dirty old arm chair and ottoman in the room that was not appealing to sit in. The bathroom and bed were clean, however and certainly an adequate room for one night.
All in all, once we tuned out the hallway noise, the room was ok.

Needs Improvement

This hotel is definitely not a 3 star rating! We had to have our bedding changed because it was dirty and also found trash under two beds. The only reason we stayed was because we had the kids with us and next to the beach. The only reason I would give this a 2 star rating is because you are right on the beach. It's listed as a 3 and nowhere near that rating. I will not return to this hotel!

Still Remodeling

They put us in a room that was not remodeled. I don't know if HIOR put all (internet site rhymes doorbits) with patrons in older rooms, but that's what happened to us. The TV was small, the outside door had a hole in the bottom, paint was peeling outside. I looked into some of the other rooms while maid service was being performed and they looked much better (modern expectation, flat screen TV, nice carpet, etc). If you can get one of the remodeled rooms it's a lovely place to stay. The pool area was nice and access to the beach was a perfect. The staff was wonderful and met all of our needs. The view out of our South facing 5th floor room patio was good enough. The parking lot and other hotels were more visible than the beach/ocean, but you could see the sunrise clearly.

Dog friendly

Dog friendly is HUGE to us. The hotel is old and tired and the public halls, etc. could use some sprucing up and deep cleaning, but the room was clean and roomy. The pool and pool deck were very nice and the beach is awesome with great accessibility!! Only 10 minutes easy drive into old St. Augustine....very convenient if you want to stay on the beachy.
